Allen says that her focus on women is intended to affect the consciousness of Euro-American women rather than men because, until the last ten years or so, the women in her culture were never considered weak, and she wants others to know that women were not held down in all cultures.

Allen was awarded a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship for Writing in 1978, and she received a post-doctoral fellowship grant from the Ford Foundation-National Research Council in 1984.

Allen uses the theme of shadows  the not dark and not light  to bridge her experience of mixed heritage as she attempts to respond to the world in its variety.

Harry Allen (1911-1992) was one of Great Britain's last executioners, officiating between 1941 and 1964 when he was the chief executioner at 29 executions and assisted at 40 others.

Following the resignation of Albert Pierrepoint in 1956, Allen and Steve Wade[?] jointly became Chief Executioners, but the Homicide Act of 1957 reduced the number of condemned criminals by some 75%, from an average of 15 a year in the early 1950s to 4 a year in the late 1950s.

Allen's most controversial case was that of James Hanratty[?], hanged on 4 April 1962 at Bedford Prison for the "A6" murder case, although efforts to clear Hanratty's name continue to this day.

Matthew J. Allen was born in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, the Town of Marion, a part, originally, of the colonial town of Rochester, January 11, 1856, being a son of Charles Cole and Phoebe Macomber (Shaw) Allen.

Allen had sought Morton County, because his brother was one of the owners of Richfield and Johnson townsites, and his life was commenced here with a wife and plenty of ambition and energy.

Allen served two terms as county superintendent of schools, held summer normals and examinations, and during her incumbency, 1898 to 1902, disorganized a few of the smaller school districts and consolidated others.

PeterAllen, born PeterAllen Woolnough (February 10, 1944 – June 18, 1992) was an Australian songwriter and singer.

Peter excelled at writing introspective ballads and bittersweet love songs, and he was fortunate that his development as a composer coincided with the singer-songwriter trend of the early '70s, exemplified by the likes of Elton John, James Taylor and Carole King.

PeterAllen was the opening act to the music legend, he was sensational.It was beamed throughout Australia on the 9 network.

Richard Allen, politician and civic leader, was born a slave in Richmond, Virginia, on June 10, 1830.

An orator who could sway an audience to his will, Allen was elected to the Twelfth Legislature to represent Harris and Montgomery counties in 1869 at the age of forty-three.

Allen held several public and private offices including Houston street commissioner, member of the Board of Directors of The Gregory Institute, second Grand Master of the Colored Masons of Texas, and secretary of the Colored Baptist Missionary Association of Texas.

Peter and Liza separated at the end of 1969 (they were divorced in 1974) and the Allen Brothers broke up in early in the new year.

Peter thought this was a good idea, and he dashed the song off in a few minutes during an intermission.

Peter continued to tour extensively, released another LP Making Every Moment Count and returned to New York for a run of sold-out performances at Carnegie Hall in September, which were recorded for the 1985 Arista album Captured Live at Carnegie Hall.

In September 1858 a jury was appointed “to examine the lunacy of Nicholas Anthony”.

Anthony (19 1/2 acres), who owned his own share and Henry Anthony’s share, and recommended the remaining 94 1/2 acres be sold.

On 7 September 1868 a power of attorney was recorded from Henry A. Anthony of Lawrence County to N. Anthony (apparently his son) to sell his interest in the estate of “my dear deceased father Nicholas Anthony… particularly in that tract on which he lived at the time of his death bounded by Wm.

Peter (whose real name was PeterAllen Woolnough) was born on February 10, 1944 in the country town of Tenterfield, NSW.

One of Peter's biggest achievements came in 1981 when his old friend and colleague Carole Bayer-Sager collaborated with the legendary Burt Bacharach (whom she later married) and singer Christopher Cross to write a theme song for the film comedy Arthur, starring Dudley Moore and Sir John Gielgud.

The lyrics and music were by Peter, from a book by Harvey Fierstein and Charles Suppon; it starred Peter in the lead role with Julie Wilson, Joe Silver, PeterAllen, Brenda Braxton, Randall Edwards, Jim Fyfe, Christian Kauffmann, Pat McNamara and Raymond Serra.

Allen filed for custody after Farrow accused him of molesting one of his children, and Allen's affair with her 21-year-old daughter Soon-Yi was revealed.

Allen has always been in love with the endless possibilities and romance of New York City, a characteristic that is evident in his motion picture homages to his home town.

Woody Allen's film 'Deconstructing Harry' is his most ambitious work since 'Hannah and Her Sisters.' Its satirical wit and structural complexity allow Allen to present to viewers a fascinating character study of a destructive writer who, unable to deal with the realities of life, retreats into the more controllable fantasy world of his fiction.

In the 1970s, PeterAllen gained recognition both as a composer of romantic ballads such as "I Honestly Love You" and "Don't Cry Out Loud" and, contrastingly, as a flamboyant stage performer.

Allen became interested in the trend toward introspective singer-songwriters in the early 1970s, and in writing more commercial music.

The introspective style of much of Allen's music was increasingly contrasted with his bold performing style, and in 1977 AandM issued a double live LP, It Is Time for PeterAllen, that showed off his concert work.

To call him selfish for taking a team on his back when there was no other choice for the past decade is not seeing AI for who he is. In my opinion, Iverson didn’t have anyone to share the ball with until Chris Webber came along.

That’s why I wouldn’t be surprised if Peter Vescey’s report about AI asking to be traded is true.

Unauthorized biographies, on the other hand, are often either scurrilous (authorization being withheld on that very account), or, if sympathetic, badly weakened by the authors lack of access to sources.

As a young novelist, Anthony Powell had a stroke of bad luck: he happened to be just two years younger than Evelyn Waugh, so that his own Afternoon Men came into a world already conditioned by Decline and Fall and Vile Bodies.

It is evident even on our first glimpse of him, as a precocious Oxford poet in A Question of Upbringing, that Members is embarked on building a reputation rather than a body of work: he emphasizes his boyishness with a floppy fringe and arranges himself in picturesque attitudes.

In 1964, PeterAnthonyAllen & Gwynne Owen Evans battered and stabbed John Alan West to death in his own home, blamed each other and had to be kept apart in the dock after police told Allen that Evans was having an affair with his wife.

They were the last people ever to be hanged in the UK, Allen by Robert Stewart and Harry Robinson, Evans by Harry Allen and Royston Rickard.

Steve Fielding meticulously traces the crimes which led to the punishment, notes the dates and places of over 1,000 executions, and details the personalities involved - the victims, the condemned men or women and, of course, the hangmen.

The singers' performances are ALL flawless, soloists and chorus, but Anthony Rolfe Johnson is particularly amazing.

He sings with such moving sensitivity, portraying the complex Grimes as almost-villain and almost-hero: he is a rough, calloused, anitsocial fisherman, a frightening outcast of society; but he is also pitiable, wrongly accused and hoping (in vain) for love and acceptance.
